Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential recording: After laboring in Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Neil Young finally hit perfect pitch--if his endearing off-center whine can be called "perfect"--with his third album. He's equally passionate with trippy riddles (has anybody figured out what "We've got mother nature on the run" means in the title track?) and pointed protest (after 30 years of rock-radio overplay, "Southern Man" still rings with truth about redneck racism). His creaky ensemble, including pianist Jack Nitzsche and rotating members of Crazy Horse, transforms ramshackle country and folk songs into soulful hippie hymns. --Steve Knopper Customer Reviews

 Rating: - Great headphone album-made me discover a mono trackThis is still one of my favorite albums of all time, and I just discovered how good it sounds in headphones (great stereo spread), however I am listening to Oh lonesome me, and it is in mono-I think I remember that from when I had it on LP. Anyway, I don't think old Neil did any better than here. The songs are all great, and his voice is in perfect shape! Rating: - WHEN ROCKERS BECOME SONG-WRITERS...So, what happened here I think, was that Neil broke his leg or something, and had a release deadline to keep, and he couldn't pick up the electric guitar that he had weilded so flawlessly on his previous release. SO, instead he decided to hit the piano, and focus more on his softer side, initiating a creative flood for softer material, and hence, coming up with a songwriters treasure trove of an album. AFTER THE GOLD RUSH seems to be the favorite for anyone in the singer/songwriter circuit, and well it should be. The range of style on this thing is wide, but subtle. His most covered material can be found here, ONLY LOVE CAN BREAK YOUR HEART, BIRDS, DONT LET IT BRING YOU DOWN. Sure he hits the threshold of dismal here (even for Neil) with songs ...

The surprise was that remastered content appeared for the first time on most of them. The titles & WB-Japan catalog numbers are: Neil Young WPCR-75086 Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere WPCR-75087 After The Gold Rush WPCR-75088 Harvest WPCR-75089 On The Beach WPCR-75090 Tonight's The Night WPCR-75091 Zuma WPCR-75092 Long May You Run WPCR-75093 American Stars n' Bars WPCR-75094 Comes A Time WPCR-75095 Rust Never Sleeps WPCR-75096 Live Rust WPCR-75097 I picked up most of these, A/B'd them, and found them to be superior to the domestics. However, having purchased ...

Recorded after Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere (1969) and before Harvest (1972), After the Gold Rush is considered Young's commercial breakthrough album and contains so many of his best-known songs ("After the Gold Rush," "Only Love Can Break Your Heart," "Southern Man," and "Don't Let It Bring You Down") that many might consider this a greatest hits compilation. With Stephen Stills providing backing vocals and Danny Whitten on guitar and vocals, Billy Talbot on bass, Ralph Molina on drums and vocals, and Nils Lofgren on piano and vocals, the album is a mix of acoustic-folk CSN ("Tell Me Why," "After the Gold Rush," "Only Love Can Break ... Read More: Rating: - "Don't Let It Bring You Down"Oh my people, I have been very busy of late. Aside from the daunting task of saving humanity, I have been asked by reknown editors to submit my reviews for a book they are considering. It will be called, "Metamorpho: The Seering Stone Reviews". Catchy title, ey? And, many of them will be culled from the very reviews my fanatical fans have read on these very pages! Oh, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking why you should pay for old, retread reviews? Not so my people! Proofreaders will be on hand to spice things up and apply the honored Hemingway method of economical writing (still popular in Florida and France) to my masterpieces. Of course, I will have final approval. Don't I always? ;) But, to the point, this is about Neil Young's ... Read More: |
